Corporation for Public Broadcasting Dissolves After 58 Years

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting officially dissolved this week after its board voted to shut down the organization following 58 years of service. The move comes months after Congress eliminated over $1 billion in federal funding, making operations unsustainable. The CPB historically provided roughly 15% of funding to PBS, NPR, and hundreds of local public radio and television stations nationwide, with outsized impact in rural and underserved communities.

The Breakdown:

Funding collapse: Congressional spending cuts stripped away the CPB's primary revenue source
Ripple effect: Local stations lose infrastructure grants for equipment, training, and community programming
Survival mode: PBS and NPR will continue independently, but smaller stations face existential threats

The Angle: Public broadcasting has weathered political storms for decades, but this time the financial math collapsed. The big networks will adapt—they have donor bases and brand recognition. But rural stations serving areas where commercial media won't go? They're the ones facing extinction, and with them goes localized educational programming and emergency broadcasting infrastructure.

Training for Symmetry: Fixing Muscular Imbalances

Muscular imbalances lead to poor posture, aches, injuries, and plateaus. Most people unknowingly favor one side or compensate during lifts. Training symmetry means strengthening each side of the body independently and improving motor control.

Incorporate unilateral exercises: single-leg deadlifts, lunges, step-ups, single-arm presses, and rows. Slow down your reps and focus on form. Identify weak links and bring them up with targeted accessory work. Over time, symmetry improves strength, aesthetics, and injury resilience.

The Complete Guide to Building a Portfolio That Sells

A strong portfolio is a credibility machine. It proves your skills, showcases your taste, and demonstrates real-world impact. Recruiters spend more time reviewing portfolios than resumes for creative, technical, and strategic roles. A great portfolio doesn't just show work—it tells the story behind the work.

Include 3–6 high-quality projects with context, process, results, and reflections. Add metrics wherever possible. Present your work cleanly—clarity beats complexity. Update quarterly and share publicly on LinkedIn or your personal site. Your portfolio is your career's storefront—design it with intention.

DAY 3 - HIDDEN GEMS: Beyond São Miguel

Everyone hits São Miguel, but the magic multiplies on the outer islands. Flores, the westernmost point of Europe, feels like Jurassic Park—waterfalls everywhere, some plunging directly into the ocean. The Rocha dos Bordões basalt columns look like organ pipes frozen in stone. Only 4,000 people live here, and tourist crowds are nonexistent.

Pico Island offers something audacious: climb Portugal's highest mountain (7,713 feet) starting at sea level, summiting above clouds for sunrise. The 6-hour climb is brutal but unforgettable. For pure relaxation, São Jorge delivers dramatic fajãs—coastal plains formed by lava meeting ocean—accessible only by steep trails. Fajã dos Cubres has a lagoon perfect for kayaking, surrounded by cliffs. Pro move? Island-hop by ferry—it's how locals do it, and you'll see whales and dolphins between islands.
